Can you believe it? December is here, today is the 7th, the day Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese and we still got veterans of that era alive and well! in Japan and many states across America! A typhoon hit Tokyo today causing much damage like the tsunami did a few years ago causing so many lives lost, nuclear tank damage and structure damage everywhere!

Aside from that this December is so different this year, no snow in the usual areas, it's unusually warm, butterflies everywhere it's hot people are still in shorts and in the parks doing things like it's summertime!! Here we are just a few weeks from Christmas and Santa Claus making his trek from the North Pole to see kids everywhere!! Can you believe it's December???

The climate is changing ice is melting in places that never feel heat so who knows what else will happen by time the New year arrives?? Many of us here are looking forward to the new year and playing with our new toys we bought on Black Friday or watching football and basketball on that huge screen TV we got for a bargain and haven't made a payment on it yet!!

So you know the bills will be coming in the mail or to your computer email saying "hello" it's time to make a payment! With all of that we are still trying to recover from strokes and let our care givers know how much we love them for taking care of us for another year!!

My wife hasn't opened her tablet yet, it arrived a couple days ago, that she wanted but maybe she will put it under the tree and is waiting for Christmas Day to open it!!

I hope everybody get what they wanted for Christmas and maybe by then the weather will be cooler or darn right cold in some areas with a little snow as it normally does!! I'm not complaining while looking at the butterflies in warm weather sitting outside in the garage! We can open the windows now and not have to run the AC, that's a good thing!!

One would think with the weather this warm this time of year the flu would leave you alone but that is not the case here in Texas!! I had my flu shot a month ago or more at the VA but many people are getting the flu anyway! My barber was out yesterday with the flu bug since Monday!!

Even all the birds are out flying around while the tree leaves are still falling and my front year is full of leaves and I guess my yardman has his hands full this week he hasn't cut the yard yet!!

Well my little puppy is trying to tell me it's time for her walk plus I got to make a Walmart trip to pick up a few things for the trip this evening when my wife get home!! We thought a trip to the casino would be a good break and we may get lucky!! It's December!!!
